There is a reason why multicolored yarn is sold in skeins.
Especially hand dyed yarn.
The colors are vivid and separated out beautifully. On the swift and being wound into a ball.
Look how different the colors look now.
Pretty but not as striking as the skein. 
As I start to knit the shawl, there is a lot of concentration of color.
You can even see some pooling of color at the bottom and white at the top. At a certain length it simply gets stripey. Of course as I decrease I expect the pooling to return.
Talk about a rainbow! The dyer wasn’t kidding.
Once it is finished, which will probably be pretty soon, I will block it and it will have a whole new look.
